Refugees deserve protection, not imprisonment

In Bulgaria, in violation of international and domestic legislation, authorities intern asylum-seekers in closed police institutions, depriving them of their most basic human right – the right to freedom.

In 2011, 588 asylum-seeking refugees were confined in police detention centers. 64 of them were children.

This is not simply illegal. It is inhumane. Make a change. Sign this petition.

Your letter will be sent to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Migration Directorate, Border Police Directorate-General and the State Agency for Refugees.
